Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 2

Hi friends! Tammy here! It’s Mother’s Day Theme Week over on the Pretty Pink Posh blog! This week we are celebrating Mom’s, or maybe someone who has been like a mom to you. Today I’m sharing a card and tag set using the Floral Corners stamp set, along with some other new items.

To begin, I cut an A2 piece Bristol smooth cardstock and ink blended Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks over the Pretty Petals Stencil. I splattered some Worn Lipstick ink, thinned with water, and black acrylic paint onto my stenciled background to create some interest. Next, I die cut white cardstock three times using the Scallop Frames Dies, stacked together and attached to my stenciled background.

Next, I stamped the images from Floral Corners, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Floral Corners Coordinating Dies. The butterfly comes from the Mom stamp set and was cut out using the coordinating dies. After arranging the colored images onto my card, I created a bold sentiment using the Mom/Mother Script Dies. I die cut Bristol smooth cardstock three times, stacked together, and ink blended the Mom sentiment with Shabby Shutters and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks to create an ombre effect. Next, using the Simple Strips Dies, I die cut black sentiment strips. I white heat embossed them with sentiments from the Mom stamp set and attached to my card. Lastly, I added some clear sequins from the Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix for a little sparkle and the perfect finishing touch!

The tag was created by cutting a piece of Bristol cardstock using the Scallop Square Tag Dies. I taped off the edges with washi tape and ink blended Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks over the Pretty Petals Stencil. Next, I stamped the floral image from Floral Corners, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Floral Corners Coordinating Dies. The sentiment was created using the Mom/Mother Script Dies, and ink blended with green inks to create an ombre effect. Lastly, I cut black cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies, white heat embossed the sentiment from the Mom stamp set and attached to my tag. I finished off the tag by adding a few clear sequins from the Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to create something beautiful for the amazing women in your life! Have a wonderful day!

Mother’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 1

Hi, crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a mini slimline Mother’s Day card. For this card, I’ve used the new Mom stamp set and coordinating dies.

The size of my card is 3.25 x 6.25 inches. To begin, I started with a 3×6 panel that I inked in Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar distress oxides. I then splattered black, white, and gold paint for added texture to the background.

Next, I stamped the images on 110 lb Neenah cardstock and colored with Copic Markers – RV13/11/10/00, YG63/61, Y13/11. I cut and adhered the MOM letters and butterflies stamps using foam tape for dimension. I then heat embossed the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment onto a black strip of cardstock and adhered with liquid glue. Next, I adhered Sparkling Clear jewels here and there for added interest. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto my card.

I love when Pretty Pink Posh comes out with word stamps. So far, there is BABY, BOO, LOVE, JOY, and of course, the newest addition, MOM. I love them all! I heard through the grapevine that there will be a DAD stamp set coming too.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, featuring Mom stamp set and that I have inspired you to use this new set.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Come back tomorrow for more Mother’s Day inspiration!

Clean and Simple: Die Cut Window

Hello, Gemma here. It’s time for a new installment of Clean and Simple. For my CAS card today, I’m using the new Floral Corners stamp set. By using a die cut window, it’s easy to create a corner for the beautiful floral image to sit upon.

I stamped the Floral Corners image in grey ink, which gives a softer look to the image than regular black ink. I coloured the image with copic markers, using the following colours:

Leaves: YG01, YG03, YG17, G46
Pink flowers: RV00, RV10, RV52, RV34, RV66
Yellow flowers: Y13, Y15, Y38, YR27
Blue flowers: B91, B52, B34

I die cut the image with the coordinating die, layering two more die cuts behind for dimension.

To ground the floral corner on my card, I die cut a Stitched Diamond from a piece of white card. I allowed it to go off the edge of the panel for interest.

On my card base, I blended Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxides over the Pretty Petals stencil. This gives a soft pattern visible through the diamond window when the panel is adhered to the card.

I stamped a sentiment from Simple Sentiments over the stenciled area on the card, with some Pearl White jewels added around it for sparkle. I then adhered the Floral Corners image on the edge of the diamond window to finish.

Tutorial: Creating A Die Cut Birdhouse

Hi friends, it’s Tammy.

My project features a custom birdhouse, a home just perfect for these sweet birds! To begin, I cut an A2 piece of white cardstock using the Pretty Petals Background Die, removed the interior pieces, and layered on top of an A2 piece of light pink cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh- Tutorial: Creating A Die Cut Birdhouse

To begin, I stamped the images from Spring Robins and Mom, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Spring Robins Coordinating Dies and Mom Coordinating Dies.

First, I cut a piece of woodgrain paper using the Stitched Duo 3 Dies to create the base of the birdhouse. I then cut a white rectangle frame using the Scallop Frames Dies, which will be cut apart to create a scalloped roof and base for the birdhouse.

I cut the frame in half, lengthwise, then placed it on the top of the tag (as shown in pic), trimming the length of the roof to look proportional. I then trimmed along the edges of the roof, cutting away the woodgrain paper. Using the leftover piece of the scalloped frame, I cut it to fit along the bottom of the birdhouse.

Next, I created a window in the birdhouse using the circle die from the Valentine Circle Coordinating Dies, and the Simple Strips Dies were used to create the post for the birdhouse.

I white heat embossed the sentiment onto dark brown cardstock, then adhered it to the back to complete the birdhouse.

Lastly, I trimmed down the Simple Strip and adhered to the card, attached the birdhouse using foam tape for dimension, and arranged the stamped images onto my card to finish!

Storybook Robins

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back to share a card that uses the new Spring Robins stamp set. This is such an adorable set, so fun to use and sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

I started my card by stamping my images from the Spring Robins Set in a Copic friendly black ink and coloring them with my Copic markers. Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For my card panel, I used the Storybook 5 Die. This is a must have die in my opinion and one that I reach for often. I ink blended a piece of cardstock with aqua ink and then attached it behind the opening in the panel to create my background.

Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Spring Robins Set directly onto my panel. I then added my images with a little liquid glue and foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a few highlights with a white gel pen to finish my card.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and you find a little time to be creative today too!

Enjoy your day, Dana

Clean and Simple: Spring Corner Frame

Hello, Gemma here with a new post for my Clean and Simple series.

My card today features the pretty Spring Corner Frame die. I love cover dies as they are so versatile. They work with lots of different colouring mediums and you can create beautiful CAS cards quickly and easily.

I die cut the Spring Corner Frame die three times from white card. I had added some double sided adhesive sheet behind the white card pieces before die cutting, as this makes it really easy to adhere the layers together.

I adhered one layer of the die to an A2 panel of white card. You could adhere it directly to a white card base, but as I am colouring with copic markers, I didn’t want the colouring to show through to the inside of the card.

Using copic markers, I added colour to the open areas of the die cut. It doesn’t matter if you colour on the die cut accidentally, as it’ll be covered up with more die cuts later. Just try not to colour outside of the die cut.
I used the following copic colours:

Flower petals: V000, BV00, BV02
Flower centres: Y11, Y13, Y15, YR23
Leaves: G40, G12, YG05 (lighter leaves), YG05, G07, G28 (darker leaves)

Next, I adhered the second layer, which hides any messy colouring, giving a beautiful clean look. I added this panel to a white card base.

In the centre of the flowers, I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze. Over the glaze, I sprinkled some glitter so the flower centres would have a sparkly look. I then left the panel to dry.

Once dry, I adhered the final layer of the die cut. This is optional but I like the extra dimension it gives. To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Friends stamp set and added some Pearl White jewels.

The Spring Corner Frame die is a beautiful cover die to have in your collection. I think it’s perfect for so many occasions. If you love to paper piece, you could use coloured card stock or even patterned paper for the flowers and leaves. So many possibilities!

Design Team Addition!

Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, and I am ecstatic to be joining the Pretty Pink Posh Design Team! I have been in love with Paulina’s products for ages and am so honored to be sharing what I create with all of you!

For my first post, I decided to combine some lovely PPP florals with cute little bunnies for a happy hello card! The Easter Bunnies set has the cutest sentiment included to easily make the set versatile all year long.

I started by using the Leaves Stencil on white cardstock with some Lawn Fawn Merman ink. I softly blended the ink with a brush, adding more color to edges and keeping it light towards the center since I knew I wanted a sentiment to go there. I trimmed the stenciled panel down and added it to a matching Lawn Fawn Mermaid cardstock base.

I stamped several flowers from Floral Corners and the bunnies from Easter Bunnies in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink onto white cardstock. I colored everything using some spring colors and added a few highlights with white gel pen before cutting everything out with the matching dies. I added the images to the card, popping a few up with foam tape for dimension.

For my sentiment, I stamped part of the “hopping” sentiment from Easter Bunnies in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. You can either mask off the word “hi” or cut your stamp apart. I used the Hi Shaker die three times on Lawn Fawn Mermaid cardstock to match my cardbase and cut the “hi” out of the center. I layered the die cuts together with some liquid glue for a dimensional word and added it to the card. I finished with a sprinkling of Sea Glass jewels for a bit of sparkle.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I look forward to sharing many Pretty Pink Posh projects with you all! Have a wonderful day!

Creating 3 Cards with 1 Stencil Set: Scallop Edges

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather Hoffman here today with a look at the new Scallop Edges Stencil – this is a two piece stencil, and I’ve created a video showing how to use each piece on it’s own, as well as a way to combine them together. The possibilities with this stencil are endless when you add in that there are 4 different sizes to the scallops, and I only used the largest size to create my cards!

Here is a video for these cards, so you can see how they all came together:

Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube

For this first card, I used the stencil that has the scallop facing outwards. I also alternated where I placed the scallop to get this fun background pattern! I used Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Tumbled Glass, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to create the background.

I finished this card off with the adorable Hedgehog Birthday stamp set (not released yet), and a few sparkly jewels in Buttercream and Sea Glass before mounting on a coordinating blue cardbase.

This second design uses the stencil where the scallops face inwards. For this one I used it to create a border along the bottom, and this time I did not alternate the stencil, so it gave a more uniform pattern. I used Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks for this one.

I created a scene on this card using Easter Bunnies stamp set – the bunny was stamped and cut out with the coordinating dies, and I stamped the sentiment and the flowers directly on the card panel. A liberal does of Pearl White jewels add a bit of fun sparkle, and I mounted that panel on a soft yellow cardbase.

Finally, the last card used both portions of the stencil to create this fun graphic design. I used Post It Tape to hold the stencils pieces together to ensure a uniform stripe design, and stenciled this one with Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, and Tumbled Glass.

I used Tulips stamp set to add a floral image, and Spring Robins for that cute sentiment. A few coordinating jewels in Cornflower, Raspberry, Pink Blush, Marigold, and Pearl White grouped around their ink colors add a touch of interest and whimsy before mounting on a soft pink cardbase.

So there you are – 3 different and fun ways to use these versatile stencils! I hope they inspired you to give them a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!

Cheerful Spring Flowers

Hi friends! Leica here and today I have an Easter card using products from the March release.

Let’s get started! First, I cut a blush colored cardstock down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Using the new Spring Flowers stencil, I inked with Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed distress oxides. I then ran the panel through the die cut machine using Stitched Notes die and glued down the outer frame to a card base. The middle piece was foam mounted for added interest and dimension.

Next, I die cut vellum using Decorative Tag 2 to mute the background so that the sentiment would stand out against the floral background. For the sentiment, I die cut the Fancy Easter Script three times and stacked them up for dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the vellum and glued the vellum down to the card panel.

I love butterflies and the Mom stamp set has super cute butterflies that I just had to add to my card. I colored them with Copic markers in V15/12/000. Lastly, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels for added interest.

This card was so fun and simple to create. I hope it inspires you to make Easter cards for your family and friends.

Slimline Easter Bunnies

Hello everyone! Mayra here with you today. I am so happy to be here. I am sharing a fun shaker card using the adorable new Easter Bunnies stamp set.

I started by coloring the images I would be using. I also used the small stem of leaves from the Mom stamp set. The color palette was inspired by the awesome Party Pop Clay Confetti mix. I love the bright colors in this set. Next, I used the grass border from the Nature Essentials die, the larger stitched rectangle from the Slimline Peekaboo dies set, the larger of the scalloped frames from the Slimline: Scallop Frames die set, the speech bubble from the Stitched Speech Bubbles set, and the Stitched Gift Holders set.

I used Distress Oxide inks to add color to the sky areas and the grass. I also used the coordinating dies from the Party Days stamp set to create the scalloped square scenes for the bunnies.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day.
